Visual C++ is a compiler/debugger/IDE.
C++ is a language.
Visual C++ is sometimes Standard C++ compliant.

Well, it will compile standard code, but if you are not careful it is easy to use a compiler specific part of it (which sucks when you release your code to us poor people with BCB

Microsoft never liked ISO standards, as you can see in their poor POSIX network support. Why is that?

As a student I have had nothing but grief from visual. The " is sometimes standard" is true and frustrating. I avoid it like the plauge now and recomend Dev C++ to anyone looking for an IDE.

The "visual" c++ comes from having graphical widget maker inside the IDE I think. Borland had something similar and called it the RAD for rapid application development.
